The 24-year-old completed a loan switch to the Reds from Real Madrid over the summer, after turning down the advances of Arsenal, who had been in lengthy negotiations over a deal with Jose Mourinho ‘s La Liga champions.

However, Sahin has had a slow start to life on Merseyside, making just two appearances as he struggles to overcome a number of troublesome injury complaints.

But the talented pass-master is staying patient, and has promised Liverpool fans he will give his all for the club during his year-long stint at Anfield.

‘I’ll give everything to have a successful season at Liverpool and to play as many games as possible,’ Sahin told UEFA.com

The player is expected to return to Madrid next summer to form an assault on Mourinho’s midfield, having been used sparingly last term.

Yet Sahin added that the transfer to Liverpool is mostly importantly aimed at winning back his place in the Turkish national team, with the midfielder hopeful of becoming a key cog in the side ahead of the World Cup in 2014.

‘I want to be in the starting eleven for Turkey. That’s my main aim – and I think I’m close to achieving it.’

Madrid paid Borussia Dortmund £10 million for Sahin last summer, and he still has five years left to run on his current deal.
